By Johnny Benz, Doghouse Boxing. Sergio Martinez will be having surgery on his knee. According to a
recent report by ESPN, the Middleweight Champion will be operated on
November 12th. The surgery is set to help a meniscus tear in his knee.

Last
month during the 12th and final round (an explosive one at that) in his
fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., "Maravilla" Martinez suffered the meniscus tear
when he fell to the canvas. (*A meniscus tear is a common
knee injury that can cause pain in the joint.)

According to the publication Martinez will have the surgery (arthroscopic procedure) preformed by Doctors in Spain.

Quoted
on ESPN in regards to the surgery, Martinez stated: "We are happy with
the medical findings, everything will be faster than expected. I need
the gym."
